Prosecutors to Seek Death Penalty in Casey Anthony Case

Story here. Excerpt:

'Prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty for Casey Anthony, a Florida woman accused of murdering her daughter, a spokeswoman for the state attorney's office said today.

In December, the state's attorney's office filed court papers indicating that prosecutors would not seek the death penalty in connection with the first-degree murder case.

In a notice of intent filed today, prosecutors said additional information has become available. The filing says that "sufficient aggravating circumstances exist to justify the imposition of the death penalty," according to the Orlando Sentinel.

A spokeswoman for Jose Baez, Anthony's attorney, said in a statement, "This is not a death penalty case. We will do whatever is necessary to defend Casey Anthony from the state trying to take her life. We already have death-qualified defense lawyers on our team and are prepared for a vigorous defense."

Anthony, 22, has pleaded not guilty in the death of her daughter, Caylee. She is scheduled to go on trial in October.'

"Crying Calif dad arraigned on murder, rape charges"

Never. You'd never read that, not in a million years. The woman is a monster (assuming she is guilty, and it sure looks like it) and should be drawn that way.

After all, would not any man be?

Judging from the sickeningly sympathetic comments at the end of the article, its hard to disagree with you.

So damned sad.

Such a whack-job that needs to burn.
